(By Oil & Gas 360) Part II of II– If the first part of the story is about geology and production, the second is about capital, and who controls the resource. Because the biggest structural difference between the Permian and the Montney is ownership. In the Permian, subsurface rights are largely privately held. That has created one of the most dynamic capital environments
(World Oil) – The Permian basin continues to strengthen its position as a key driver of U.S. energy production and economic growth, supporting more than 940,000 jobs nationwide and contributing billions of dollars to local, state and national economies, according to new reports released by the Permian Strategic Partnership (PSP). The organization’s 2025 Annual Report and accompanying Power of the Permian economic
(By Oil & Gas 360) Part I of II- The Permian Basin and the Montney are often talked about in the same breath, they shouldn’t be. Not because they aren’t comparable, but because they represent two very different models of what modern energy supply looks like. One is built on scale, speed, and global influence. The other is built on depth, longevity, and structural resilience. Together, they tell a bigger
(By Oil & Gas 360) – Sand rarely gets the attention. It doesn’t move markets the way crude prices do. It doesn’t dominate headlines like LNG exports, OPEC decisions, or geopolitical conflict. Yet without it, much of the modern shale industry simply doesn’t work. That reality is becoming more obvious again as U.S. drilling activity stabilizes, longer laterals continue
(Oil & Gas 360) – Phillips 66’s May 18, 2026, announcement of the Zeus Gas Plant and a third Coastal Bend Fractionator represents a continuation, not a departure, of the company’s multi-year push to vertically integrate its midstream footprint from Permian wellhead to Gulf Coast markets. The release is strategically consistent with prior capital allocation signals, recent operating results, and
(BOE Report) – EagleRock, a land and resource management company that collects royalties and fees from oil and gas production on the land it controls in the Permian Basin, has raised $320.1 million in its U.S. initial public offering on Wednesday. The Houston-based company sold 17.3 million shares at $18.50 apiece, touching a mid-point of its marketed range of $17
(By Oil & Gas 360) – Part I – Canada’s oil and gas story has never followed the same path as the United States. It hasn’t been defined by speed, short-cycle production, or the ability to rapidly scale in response to price. Instead, it has been built on something else entirely: size, longevity, and resource depth. That difference shows up most clearly in
(Oil & Gas 360) By Greg Barnett, MBA – No oilfield on earth better illustrates the intersection of geology, law, capital markets, technology, and geopolitics than the Permian Basin. Spanning West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, the Permian today produces more crude oil than any basin in the world, exceeding the output of most OPEC member states and rivaling entire nations.
(Oil & Gas 360) – The Permian Basin has been written off before. Each time, it proved the opposite: it grew faster, produced more, and pushed U.S. oil supply to new highs. But today, the question isn’t whether the Permian is running out. It’s how much longer it can keep doing what it’s done for the past decade, and more importantly,
(World Oil)– The Permian basin continues to reinforce its position as the lowest-cost U.S. shale play, with an estimated 55,000 drilling locations capable of breaking even below $50/bbl, according to new analysis from Enverus Intelligence Research (EIR). The estimate represents roughly 10% year-over-year growth, driven by ongoing resource delineation, improved well performance and continued cost efficiencies. The sub-$50/bbl inventory is
(World Oil) – ConocoPhillips is exploring a sale of some of its Permian basin assets as part of a broader streamlining of its portfolio, according to people familiar with the matter. The assets, picked up over the years through deals with Concho Resources Inc. and Shell Plc, are expected to fetch about $2 billion, the people said, asking not to be
(BOE Report) – Exxon Mobil beat Wall Street targets in fourth-quarter earnings reported on Friday, with higher oil production in profitable Permian Basin and Guyana assets helping to boost the No. 1 U.S. oil producer’s results. Adjusted earnings for the October to December quarter were $1.71 per share, beating a consensus estimate of $1.68 per share from analyst data compiled by
